As reported by The Associated Press<\/a><\/strong>, the launch of the Russian spacecraft, named Luna-25, took place at the Vostochny Cosmodrome (Russian Far East) and marks Russia’s first moon-bound launch since 1976, during its time as part of the Soviet Union<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roscosmos<\/strong>, the Russian space agency, estimates that the lunar lander module will reach the Moon on August 23<\/strong>, around the same day as India’s Chandrayaan-3<\/strong>, launched on July 14<\/a>. The Russian spacecraft will take about 5.5 days to reach the vicinity of the Moon and will then spend three to seven days orbiting at about 100 kilometers before descending to the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
